In twentieth-century Scotland and Canada, different dreams are dreamed; different stories told. How is it, then, that they feel so familiar? Is it Dream Angus who haunts us still and brings us love?

Mesmerically weaving together tales of the Celtic eden and the Scottish diaspora in this exciting addition to the International Myths Series, McCall Smith unites dream and reality, leaving us to wonder: what is life, but the pursuit of our dreams?

'This is an enchanting tale told by a true storyteller with characteristic charm.’ Salley Vickers, The Times
